Steam is still the leading online gaming platform with a large number of users around the world.
Even in 2024, Steam has broken the record for the number of people logged in at the same time several times in a row. Providing countless game titles for players to choose from in digital form, Valve's platform recently made an announcement that may surprise many people.
Specifically, through a new update, Steam has made its own edits.
Accordingly, during the transaction process to pay for any game, Steam will warn that gamers are only buying a license for the game, instead of actually owning it. This will definitely clarify the concept that some gamers are still confused about up to now. Or in other words, if you want to truly own a game, the only way is to buy its physical versions such as game discs.
Many people probably won't clearly feel the difference. In a basic sense, this means that developers have the full right to ban certain features such as mods or stop or remove their games from the platform without any responsibility. any. Because simply, gamers are not the owners of the game, they only have a license to use it.
I thought the reaction of gamers would be quite strong. But no, for Vietnamese gamers, many people seem to have realized this for a long time. Many gamers even spoke up to “explain” for other misunderstanding users.
